Hello,
I've recently installed Pd Extended 0.40.3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron
8.04. I seem to be having problems with the size of object boxes
whereby the text doesn't seem to fit inside the bounds of the
object. I'm using a screen resolution of 1440 x 900, when this is
reduced to 1024 x 786 there is no problem. I've also installed Pd
Vanilla 0.40-2 which seems to be fine regardless of the screen
resolution. Please click on the link below for a screen shot.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2097/2464690219_11bd0677f5_o.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Alex _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ listinfo/pd-list
